Howdy all,
Our bird walk this morning took place using the tram to traverse Estero seeing
some really good birds with a large number of diversity. Going back into the
tropical area this afternoon ending the day with 84 species. We are seeing a
little Rufous Hummingbird that thinks I put this one feeder out especially for
him. Feisty, he is. OK, tomorrow ((Sunday)) is another day and hope many of you
can join me on another walk or tram ride. I start our list at 8 AM from the
deck and start the walk at 8:30...... See ya there!
Bird for your health,
Forget your worries,
You'll be happier.
